The American National Standards Institute (ANSI Z136.3) laser safety guidelines is the foundational base that should be followed along with recommended laser safety protocols and practices. Every freestanding facility that is offering laser therapies should be aware of state laser safety laws, regulations, as well as medical board rulings and stated guidelines. These facilities are required to research and develop internal programs that establish laser safety protocols, training and use by employed personnel. The control, measure and documentation of this internal program governs the use of the laser equipment Class 3B and Class 4, which is most cosmetic laser platforms. Medical spas are held to the same standards as hospitals and surgery centers in the area of the use of medical laser safety class 3B and class 4. Medical spars are required to research and develop internal programs that establish training and safety protocols while providing a means to analyze, control, measure, document, and make adjustments to the program as necessary.

Depending on state compliance inspections:A forced laser safety audit from an external source can result in commendations or minor recommendations fi the laser safety program documentation shows a sound foundation and a dynamic ongoing process. However, if the audit results in the exposure of non compliant program, the facility will most likely be required to undertake immediate action to begin the process, establish a plan to be presented to the audit board, show sufficient progress, and possibly face sanctions and fines.

Acting proactively before an external audit occurs will help ensure the safety of patients and staff as well as keep the program in compliance with federal and state authorities. Accessing professional lase safety program development services that can provide quick and efficient development tools, and provide effective strategies to the facility laser safety program development can help ensure confidence in both patients and staff as well as help ensure a compliant and smooth running laser program with the minimum use of time, personnel, and monetary resources.

Laser Safety Audit ANSI Compliance Extensive knowledge and experience in all aspects of laser safety. Our Certified Laser Safety Officers provide medical safety audits for any type of organization that needs to be in compliance with OSHA, ANSI, or JCAHO. Knowledgeable OSHA inspectors will often refer to the ANSI Z136.1 Safe Use of Lasers standard when visiting an organization using lasers. The ANSI standard states"...periodically audit or survey by inspection for the presence and functionality of the laser safety features and control measures required for Class 3B and class 4 laser or laser systems in the laser facilities..." We can help your organization be or stay in compliance and help avoid potential accidents and OSHA penalties.

Upon completion of the medical laser safety audit we will provide a written detailed report outlining all areas of compliance and any areas that need improvement. We will make specific recommendations and assist in implementing any changes to ensure compliance with OSHA and ANSI.​
